leaves yellowing around edges

3.5 weeks old
jiffy seed starting soil
70-80 degrees
no nutes yet
distilled water

maybe a deficiency? when should i start adding nutes?

both pics are the same plant, 1st was taken 4/16


this was taken 4/21

from the pics it looks like she is saying its time for nutes, start off mild and as she gets bigger add more.

Go REALLY light on the nutes, that's a really small plant still.

Do you pH your water before adding it? If so what pH do you normally use? I also agree with turdnugget420, if you're going to give that nutes make sure it's like 1/4 dose or less.

sorry all what means " nutes"?

@bleep90: 3,5 weeks, what medium you use? (earth, coco's...) what lamp do you use? please lett me know

It's short for "nutrients", or fertilizer. It's all plant food.

thanks Antigen......learning here hehe............

thats really 3.5 weeks? looks really small what kinda lights?

I just transplanted this one today it was 20 days old.. Never fed any nutes, only watered when needed. t8 Flourescent lights. Fox farm light warrior and ocean forest soil in that cup.

Tell us more about your lighting and watering habits so we can help u.

If i was you then i would give 1/3 strenth nutes as it does look as though its wanting food as the little water leafs at the bottom of your plant are starting to die , Thats a sign to start giving nutes but as your plants are REALLY SMALL for that age i would start off REALLY light on the nutes as nubies tent to over feed . I think you will be ok , Heres a couple of pics of my plants that are just over 2 weeks old . Not going to start giving nutes until another 3 - 4 weeks .
The pic of the plant by itself has 3 sets of branch leafs instead of the normal 2 .
Good luck and keep us posted

does jiffy siol already have nutes in it.like miracle grow soil,if so,dont add anything or shell fry like an egg.

i gave all of them nutes at a little less than 1/4 strength. I'm using 8 27w 5000k cfl's about 3-5 inches away from the plants. 20/4 hour light cycle and water whenever the pots start getting light.
